Fingerprint sensor terrible and general performanc
on May 10, 2026
Posted by: MICHAEL
from Crofton, MD
The fingerprint sensor on the S26 Ultra is terrible. Only works about 10% of the time. I wish I did not buy this phone and stuck with my S21 Ultra. I really don't see any performance increases from my S21. As of now, this will probably be my last Samsung phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung s26 ultra
on May 22, 2026
Posted by: Tootie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone would've been a awesome phone line but when samsung took away consumers freedom of choice it placed a bitter sweet taste in my mouth and if samsung keep this up with Google then I'm afraid that I'm going to have to jump ship cause the appearance of the phone is a typical samsung design.

Not Great
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Not2happy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not had a great experience with the S26 ultra. The battery life is not great and the privacy screen feature doesn't work. The charging is a upgrade over the S25. The S26 is a modest upgrade over the s25. The build is not as sturdy as the 25 . The camera

Horrible display panel
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: humour412
from MD
Display panel with new hardware tech to accommodate a privacy display feature causes very visible shimmering / fuzziness around characters or icons for example. Very uncomfortable to read any type of text. Phone was returned.

Not so Good
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Daleduro13
Camera still sucks in selfie mode. The AI feature to grammar check your spelling still censors you. This phone is as fast/laggy as my S23 ultra, nothing seems like an update on this phone. My Iphone17 pro max 1TB was cheaper than this phone and has better quality all around. Samsung sucks now
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect Device
on March 25, 2026
Posted by: S26Fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All the pillars of a great smartphone are taken care of - cameras, display, battery life, design and speed. Absolutely no complaints coming from a S21+. The "Galaxy AI" features are useful in almost all situations. Beast of a phone.
